IBM — ready to Cell


There are two ways you can look at Cell, one – the
processor of PS3, two – IBM’s plan to recapture the PC market.


For people who have just landed on earth, Cell is the microprocessor designed jointly by IBM, Sony and Toshiba (called the STI). It has been developed for the Sony Playstation 3. Although the processor has been developed for gaming and entertainment, IBM has grand plans for Cell. If everything goes on their way they can possibly recapture the PC market with their little baby.

Rambus has developed the interface for the buses in the Cell processor.
